It was really blowing a gale and despite the trees it was really open. I have also traveled across that road in the snow, it had just started and was horrid. It was coming down thick and fast and the heater in the car was on. We are certainly lucky these days.Julie @ Anglers Resthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-82525956455731094642013-02-16T17:44:57.617+00:002013-02-16T17:44:57.617+00:00When I bought this card, my husband who grew up in...When I bought this card, my husband who grew up in Scotland said, that much snow was like his childhood days.

This is indeed the Hogs back, my family was originally from Puttenham and my Grandfather was born in Wanborough where the family farmed until 1930. They then moved to Onslow Village and farmed at Manor Farm there, which is the land the University now sits on.Julie @ Anglers Resthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-83508856855990569942013-02-16T17:41:07.979+00:002013-02-16T17:41:07.979+00:00Yes Mike, this is the Hogs back.

I think its the Hog&#39;s Back, a wonderful ridge with fantastic views north and south, (were it not now such a busy trunk road). It always reminds me that I must take my walking boots down there and explore the area on foot this summer.<br /><br />I can imagine that the snow would really drift up there as it appears to have done. I think the hedges and trees that are there now were not there then to stop the drifting.<br /><br />NigelNigel Aspdin (Derby, UK)http://www.blogger.com/profile/11287696605570389587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-80447839899739505602013-02-11T16:17:51.855+00:002013-02-11T16:17:51.855+00:00That is some snow - how did people get out of it t...That is some snow - how did people get out of it then?
